Subject: Was "Il Duce" not "El Duce"
Sorry but the article is not the Spanish "el" but the Italian "il" so was "il duce" not el duce, because unfortunately was Italian.
I still want to thanks, after 60 years, the US troops for the liberation of Italy.

Comparison with Saddams' execution (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7532034279766935521) is interesting.
